Foreigner will release a career-spanning collection that includes “Turning Back The Time,” a previously unreleased track originally recorded in 1996 featuring Mick Jones and Lou Gramm. The new collection will drop on October 4th via Rhino, available on CD, 2 LP and digitally; “Turning Back The Time” is available now.

Mick Jones shared in a statement: “Foreigner’s membership in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a priceless highlight of my career. I hope that this collection of the songs that brought us here, along with some later recordings that light our way forward, will mean as much to all who listen to them as they do to me. There are a number of songs that Lou Gramm and I wrote together that have never seen the light of day. One of them, ‘Turning Back The Time,’ was co-written with Marti Frederiksen. Marti and I recently revisited and reworked the song. Because of the time that had passed, we were able to go back to it with a fresh perspective. The sentiment of the song spoke to us now more than ever and with the upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, we thought it an ideal time to let the world hear it.”

Turning Back The Time includes the Top 10 hits “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Double Vision,” and “Urgent,” as well as the ballads “Waiting For A Girl Like You” and “I Want To Know What Love Is,” which reached No. 2 and No. 1 respectively.  The collection draws from Foreigner’s first six albums: Foreigner, 4, Double Vision, Head Games, Agent Provocateur, and Inside Information. 

Foreigner is currently on the co-headlining Renegades & Juke Box Heroes Tour with Styx and special guest John Waite through the end of August, and will continued its Historic Farewell Tour this fall with ten additional dates starting September 23rd in Charleston, WV through October 9th in Las Cruces, NM. Loverboy will join on most dates with Lita Ford playing both Minnesota stops.

Turning Back The Time will be released on double vinyl and CD on October 4, and is available to pre-order now.
